«Hermana muerte» is the debut novel of Justo Navarro, published by Alfaguara in paperback (119 pages, in Spanish).
A teenager and his sister are marked by the memory of their dead father.

The end of that family universe in ruins becomes inevitable.
«Hermana muerte» is the second novel by Justo Navarro, also a poet, and is part of the Alfaguara Hispánica collection.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction who appreciate coming-of-age stories with an unsettling tone.
